    It's post mint damage. Something hit it. Worth 1 cent, sorry.

    Ditto! Copper is fairly soft, and it doesn't take much of a hit to move it around.

    Once you learn more about the minting process, you will recognize damage like this more readily.

    The gouge near the rim shows where the PMD started and the L where it ended.
